The 1981 Central African Games was the second edition of the international multi-sport event between the nations of Central Africa. It was held from 20 August – 2 September 1981 in Luanda, Angola. A total of ten nations competed in eight sports over the fourteen-day competition, with a total of 1200 athletes in attendance.[1][2]
The games was the first time a multi-sport event had been held in the newly independent Angola and Rogério Silva, former head of the Angolan Olympic Committee, credited the games with boosting the standards and participation within sport in the country.[3] Angola later went on to win African championships in basketball and several African medals in handball.[4][5]
